RayOne Trifocal Launch at ESCRS
Posted on 14/09/2017
For immediate release.
14 September, 2017. Rayner are proud to announce the launch of the newest member of the RayOne family of preloaded IOLs: the RayOne Trifocal, to be unveiled at the upcoming 2017 ESCRS conference in Lisbon.
Product availability will be from 9 October 2017 to all CE registered markets.
The most advanced lens design Rayner has ever produced.
Based on the proven, high performance Rayner ‘closed loop’ platform, the new diffractive technology of the RayOne Trifocal is the result of several years of development in partnership with a leading European Research Centre using advanced vision simulation technology. The resultant new patented diffractive trifocal profile reduces light loss to an industry leading 11 % and provides a smooth transition for the patient from near to intermediate and distance vision.
Pre-launch studies show promising results
Following CE mark approval earlier in 2017, Rayner conducted a multi-surgeon, multi-site evaluation study of the new Trifocal IOL across four European markets, with the first IOL implanted by Professor Oliver Findl of the Hanusch Hospital in Vienna.
“The early results from the RayOne Trifocal first implantations have demonstrated the exceptional light availability from the optic. The first month feedback demonstrates excellent intermediate visual acuity, enabling patients to feel more comfortable transitioning from near to distance activities whilst also reducing patients’ reliance on glasses” said Warwick Strand, Rayner Marketing Director.
Listening to surgeons
Rayner prides itself on engaging surgeons at every stage of our product development. “We know that patient demand is growing for spectacle independence following cataract or presbyopia treatment which is highly demanding for surgeons. So as well as delivering what we consider to be the most advanced trifocal optic design it was important to us to provide this in a fully preloaded injector to eliminate the risk of lens handling and to ensure accurate, consistent placement through a 1.65 mm nozzle and to do so at a price which would make the technology accessible to a wider range of patients. We are very grateful to all our surgeon partners, university collaborators and team of dedicated engineers and scientists who have taken another step forward in IOL design.” said Tim Clover, Rayner CEO.
